Secretary of Internal Affair Latta

Jefferson county was represented at
the State Directors' Association con
vention in Harrlsburg last week by the
following gentlemen: J. E. Pantall, of
Punxsutawney, W. N. Conrad, Esq., of
Brookvllle, J. C. Smith, of DeLancey,
and C. A. Berk house, of Emerickvllle.
Only one county In the State had a lar
ger representation than our county. It
U evident that the above named gen
tlemen are interested in the publics
schools of the county, as they attended
the' convention at their own expense.
J It is the intention of the Post Olllee
f department at Washington to establish
In the near future an Innovation which
will preclude tho possibility of postago
stamps being found, when most needed,
adhering to the lining of a pocket and
being spoiled. By May 1 stamps will
be sold in books, with leaves of parafflne
paper to prevent them from slicking.
The plan contemplated is to have two
cent stamps put up in books of 12, 24
and 48. Each will have parafflne leaves
separating the stamps and will be sold
at an advance of one cent over tho face
value of tho stamps. Thus, the book
containing 12 stamps will cost 25 cents,
that of 24 will cost 40 cents, etc.
The attempt of the Government to In
duce tho adoption of conservative
methods of lumbering In order to pre
serve the national resources, and the
responsive interest taken by timber
owners, have brought up many interest
ing legal question, and the Division of
Forestry has found it necessary to make
extensive researches in this direction.
As the result a circular dealing with
the laws which affect forests Is in course
of preparation and will be sent free to
persons Interested. One of the most
important points brought out is the
recognition by law of the prospective
ritlue of growing timber. The possibil
ity of profitably carrying on lumbering
with systematlo provision for future
cutting depends upon this point. It
bus usually boon held that when, by
trcspress, or by unscrupulous cutting
by contractors, timber has been remov
ed contrary to tho owner' wish, he
could recover only Its stumpage value
As forestry usually requires that a cer
tain number of trees of certain size be
left, It follows that an unscrupulous
contractor could easily upset the plans
of years with llttlo fear of punishment.
The Supreme Court, however, has re
cently ruled that tho difference In value
biitwoeu logged and unlogged land de
pends not only on tho value of the tim
ber removed, but on Its probable In
crease had it been loft untouched.

THE PA It K Kit CONCERT CO.
One of the most pleasing entertain
ments ever given In the Reynoldsville
public school was the concert last Fri
day evening by the Parker Concert Co.
The people present showed their Bp
preclatlan by the applause and those
who were not there have reasons to re
gret It for they missed a rare treat.
This Company certainly deserves
credit for the music and reading were
excellent.
The quintette sang "Gaily We Hide"
mid "When Shadows Fall" in a charm
inn; manner and tho audience was not
satislled until they sang two more selec
tions. Miss Hanson and Miss Mori both
possess beautiful voices and held the
closest attention of the people while on
the stage. "Old Kentucky Homeland
"Sleep Kentucky Uiibe," songs which
some people say are "as old as the hills,"
sang 'jy Mrs. Parker, assisted by the
Misses Ilitnsiin, Mori and Ferry, and
accompanied by the violin, banjo, guitar,
mandolin and piano, were rendered so
that they seemed like new songs. Miss
Ferry is an exert violinist and played
the elnsslo pieces with great ease. Miss
Boynton Is an elocutionist of rare abili
ties and delivered "The Prodigal Son"
with much expression and gracefulness.
Tho Statue Posing and the singing of
"Nearer My God to Thee" were beauti
ful. After Miss Boynton had rendered
"Sailing to Dreamland" she was en
cored four times and each time her re
cital was more pleasing.
Before the concert closed Mr. C. M.
Parker, the manager, gave a little
speech and told the people to come out
and hear Mr. Hawks next Friday even
ing as his lecture Is worth your trouble
und money.

Nearly every seat was taken at the

Night Train Service.
Tho Buffalo, Rochester A. Pittsburg
R'y will on April 1, according to present
plans, inaugurate fust night trains be
tween Pittsburg and Buffalo and Roch
ester. Tbe train, in equipment and
time schedule, will at least be on a par
with the splendid day service that the
road has been operating. The decision
to Introduce the through night train
each way has just been arrived at.
Months ago it was stated by President
Arthur G. Yates that the train would
be put on when business seemed to jus
tify it. A night train was part of Hie
original plan anil equipment was provid
ed for It, but it was thought Inadvisable
to Introduce so extensive and costly a
passenger service over new road at
the start. The passenger business has
steadily augmented, however, till now
the management Is ready to put In the
additional service, tho early spring be
ing regarded a a good time for it.

Three Men Under Coal.
A disaster occured at London mlno
Monduy afternoon which doubtless
caused the death of one workman and
injured two others, who are in a serious
condition but will probably recover.
The three men, Felix Succallnl,
Chill ies Uchall and Zehottl, all Italians,
wero working near together, whon,
without warning, a mass of coal and
slate fell, catching the three. Succallnl
was closed in behind the debris and the
two others were caught under It In such
way that they could soon be rescued.
One of these had a leg broken and both
wero Injured Internally.
A rescuing crew was working hard to
dig Succallnl out lust night, but thero
was little hope that he would be found
alive. It was estimated that be could
not be reached beforo this morning.
DuBols CoitnVr.
The body of Succallnl was found at
4.00 a. m. Tuesday. He leaves a wife
and two children in Italy.

Memorial Home Free of Debt.
Word comes from the president of the
board of managers of the Soldiers'
Memorial Home of Brookvllle, that suf
ficient money has been raised to pay off
all the claims against it, and In a few
weeks a grand jubilee meeting will be
held at the Home to celebrate the
event. This Is good news. To raise
the money has caused much anxiety and
labor. Tho women of tho Relief Corps
are entitled to the greater part of tho
credit for bringing about this desirable
result. This Home is a noble charity,
and the Woman's Relief Corps may
well be proud of it, for it is their crea
tion. In a week or two we will make
further announcement concerning tho
